What have they done to them?I know Jac was meant to a bit rough, Mercedes a little bit of a tramp, JP the token gay, Michaela the needy one, Carmel the dizzy selfish one with a heart in there somewhere...and the mum was meant to be the religious tealeaf holding the clan together...almost forgot Tina.... the nerdy good girl.... turned bad.
Nial the long lost no one knows about son and nana queen the rubbish mum that is to blame for the disfunctional results.

But come on::::::>what on earth is going on here?
Mercedes weds russ after she cheats on him, he finds out leaves her, she is the villiage bike.
Russ sleeps with Tina gets her pregnant... she offers to surrogate for Jac cos she cant have kids... then tina cant have kids herself cos her nutty bro she doesnt know about pushed her down the stairs.
Tony is with Jac but slept with Mercy
JP is gay and always ends up breaking other peoples hearts to get what he wants ie: Craig and Kieron
Carmel stole money to get her boobs done which meant Jac had to marry Alec who was in love with Carmel, they started an affair....
Michaela gets drugged by her twisted brother Niall, writes stories about her friends and sings badly...
the mum is a catholic but steals and cheats and lies to get her family through... raised her kids to be good, huh??? !!!!!
Have I missed anything cos according to the spoilers there is more to come for this crazy set up.

The McQueens for example, Jacqui married an illegal alien because of debts to a scary violent guy, fell in love with tony, who slept with her sister and got her pregnant, miscarried hers and tony's baby, sister is having a baby for her (but it's not by tony, but a on night stand) Mercedes slept with Tony, got pregnant, had miscarriage, found out boyfriend was sleeping with his sister, Tina got sexually harrased, had a one night stand, got pregnant, heavily handed pushed into being surrogate for sister, only to find out baby was one night stand's, pushed down stairs by evil half brother, gave birth, had hysterectomy, Michaela believed to be heroin addict, injected by evil half brother, friends complete smack heads, HIV tests and all, Camel become PCSO in an extraordinarily quick time, fell in love with sisters husband, now engaged to a policeman, who snogs his fathers girlfriend, and the ex is coming back. John Paul comes out, gets beaten up by mate, falls in love with mate, outs said mate, goes to leave with mate, leaves mate at the airport, falls in love with priest, gets outted by evil half brother being malicious, abandons family, priest leaves, both mate and priest come back for more angsty goodness! Myra has 6 children by 4 different dads, wants to find the one she abandoned at 14 in a church!

Further prove!

The only McQueen I like is Michaela, she seems to be the only funny, fun one left! And has a personality which is very funny to watch she makes me laugh so much.

I do like Carmel, she is sweet, but she is dull when she is with Calvin as he is boring. Mercedes is funny when she is with Darren and Kris. Tina, is the only McQueen no to sleep around! Jac also makes me laugh, but can be annoying, and as for JP the worst McQueen, the most selfish! dull, boring, annoying, moany, always self-pittying and feeling sorry for himself, I can't wait till he leaves!

I don't like any of them and this baby story seems to be going round in very boring circles.

I think with James Sutton, like with so many gay characters they have run out of things to do with him, but maybe it's not even because he's a gay character just they have run out of 'sensible' stuff to do with them all.

I'm not loving the whole Tina/Dom/Russ/Jacqui/Tony storyline. The storyline has been poorly executed in my opinion, it's out of character for the straight-laced Tina, and it's getting far too complicated for me to care anymore. It's also portrayed Tina and Jacqui as both selfish and oblivious to each other's feelings when they are supposed to be sisters. In fact, Jacqui has annoyed me so much that I long for the day when Tony finally dumps her and gets back with the ever-lovely Mandy.

Carmel and Calvin's partnership has never worked, there isn't any chemistry there, and I've been expecting it to be cut short from the start. I do hope that Carmel gets back with Aleksander when he returns on Monday.

Other than that, I'm loving the McQueens

I liked SB too but that doesn't mean hollyoaks has to go that way... the flodders is a dutch film about a very trashy family.

It's a pretty rubbish storyline, possibly for a clear out of cast but so many things happening to one family at once is OTT.

I love the actors, they are great and deal with anything thrown at them, but it is a bit OTT.

Personally, I love the McQueens, and the current Niall storyline.

They aren't perfect - not at all - but when it comes down to it they're always there for each other, when it really matters. Admittedly, the trauma and drama they go through isn't realistic, but then real life just doesn't make good TV.

It does annoy me though when people (not just in this thread) talk about JP being selfish. At the moment, it may seem so, yes. But as for ruining Craig and Sarah's lives - he was in love. Truly, madly, deeply. Love can't excuse everything but it sure can excuse a lot. Even now, the hurt that he's causing his family, it all stems from the fact that he is STILL in love with CRAIG, not Kieron. I know that many people do not see this, and fair enough, everyone interprets things differently. But to me, JP's conversation with Hannah a while ago, his reaction to being asked about Craig last week and his general demeanour around Kieron make it as plain as day to me that JP is not in love with Kieron, and that BK is definetely trying to show this to viewers.

I love the McQueeens. And it's a soap. Of course it's going to be OTT.
